With a tender batter swirled with cinnamon sugar and topped with a sweet vanilla glaze, it delivers a delightful dessert that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any time you crave something sweet and satisfying.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (for batter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Swirl

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (for cinnamon swirl)

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and ensure a tender crumb.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, blend the brown sugar and cinnamon until well mixed for the cinnamon swirl.
  6. Layer Batter and Cinnamon Sugar: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Drizzle half of the melted butter over the batter, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar evenly on top.
  7. Add Remaining Batter and Swirl: Pour the remaining batter over the first layer. Using a knife, swirl in the remaining melted butter and cinnamon sugar mixture to create a marbled effect.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and set in the center.
  9. Make Icing: While the cake cools slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl to create a smooth icing.
  10. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the icing over the warm cake before serving to enjoy the ooey gooey texture and sweet cinnamon flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon for a more intense flavor.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the milk slightly.
  • Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before adding icing to prevent it from melting too much.
  • This cake is best served warm but can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
